REDWOOD CITY, Calif. - June 7, 2001 - Openwave Systems Inc. (Nasdaq: OPWV), the
worldwide leader of open IP-based communication infrastructure software and
applications, today announced that Alain Rossmann, Chairman of the Board and
Executive Vice President, Strategy, is leaving the Company to be CEO of Secret
Seal Inc., a newly formed security infrastructure software company based in Palo
Alto, California, and that Don Listwin, Openwave's President and CEO has been
elected Chairman of the Board.

Often recognized as the inventor of the wireless Internet, Rossmann was the
founder of Phone.com, which merged last year with Software.com and became
Openwave.  In moving to Secret Seal, Rossmann embarks upon his fifth new
business venture, with past success prior to Openwave at EO Corporation, C-Cube
Microsystems, Inc., and Radius, Inc.

"Founding Phone.com, leading it through its merger with Software.com, and
working in the merged company has been a tremendously rewarding experience for
me personally and professionally," said Rossmann.  "We have created one of the
world's most successful companies, one with an outstanding management team lead
by our President and CEO, Don Listwin.  I am very confident that Openwave is
poised for continued success in the years ahead, and am excited now to continue
my path as an entrepreneur where I can focus on technology innovation in a new
field."

wish him the very best as he embarks upon his new adventure at Secret Seal."

announces that President and CEO Don Listwin has been elected as acting Chairman
of the Board.  Added Listwin, "I look forward to recruiting a non-executive
Chairman in the future as part of our goal to build a world class leadership
team.  Look for us to expand our Board's stewardship capacity with the addition
of new members to complement our existing Board and contribute to our continued
success."
